Dude, I work in fraud prevention and talk to people actually getting scammed all day.

Please say you are disappointed, rather then using incorrect terms like that.

Also not a GG bot. :unsure:

GG poker don't let me create an account because I deleted my first, but I literally played 0 games, deposited 0 cash, and only created to play freerolls, deleted because they did not let me play the freerolls, because I created my account without using a link, therefore, they will never be pokerstars XD
God bless

They are real-its you who does not understand how the price distribution is working. Didnt u also claim they took money out of your account? 😅
You’re confusing me! I haven’t had that experience... I usually keep my eyes wide open when I enter a gaming platform! If something like that ever happened to me, I’d immediately withdraw and close my account!

I have a question.
To win the freeroll ticket, can I receive a thousand hands and fold all of them and still receive the ticket, or do I really need to play those thousand hands?

Yes, but you only need 100 hands, not 1000.

I checked it myself, had the discussion, and the issue was resolved! So I didn’t lose anything — all is good!You were right! The issue had already been resolved — I had checked, discussed, and everything was in order. So, I didn’t lose a thing. Just a little dance of caution, nothing more.

Title of thread needs to be changed.
Here are some suggestions:

"GG still not a scam - - they are giving away money for FREE!"

or
'Underage poker player has temper tantrum... wants easier access to free money'

'GG tries to make it extremely easy to qualify for FREE MONEY & yet they still complain about it'

'Payout frequencies for SPINS is explained in great detail. CC member chooses to ignore the detailed response, instead letting us know how highly educated he is while putting his focus on how the payout wheel seems to get stuck right at the big money payout... (BUT THEN THEY MAKE IT MOVE!!!'

If you wanted to play an affiliate freeroll, you would've needed to sign up through that affiliate's link to qualify for it. Pretty simple.

Last year it was 'Pokerstars is scam.' 'Pokerstars is going out of business' because they stopped handing out freerolls to private affiliates... no more freerolls :( (even though they still have some very easy to qualify for 'free' stuff you can get via Powerpath route)

A year later, now it's GGPoker is scam. Because they're only giving out $100k/week to players who have to do practically nothing to qualify for it.
Newsflash -
You do understand that the site is making an effort to get more players playing on the site. It's not their aim to just give out free money to players who never even play on their tables & buyin tournaments. They are trying to generate interest.... traffic.
imo, they should put a requirement on every single dollar that is won via a freeroll, that it needs to be cleared after generating a certain % in rake.
ie. If you were to win $100 from freerolls or a freeroll promotion, you should have to play with that money until you have paid 20% ($20) in rake to clear it (at minimum... maybe even 50% would be best). OR only pay out in T$'s.

As you know, I am not the biggest fan of GG Poker. But even so its amazing to me, how people can complain about something, that is literally given to them for free. I have never deposited as much as a dime on GG Poker, but even I can log on and get a $0.25 or $1 ticket every single day :)
Literally — I made $200 starting from a 25¢ freebie!
Then I busted, of course 😂
But still, it’s a big deal to play for free and win real money!

I fully support the author, interest in GG freerolls has disappeared. With a daily freeroll ticket, winning weekly freeroll and then winning a wsop ticket is such a thing to do. I'll win back two more weekly freeroll tickets and that's it)

If this were true, then there'd be fewer entrants in them... instead there's more.
2 weekly tickets? You won't have enough for the rebuys.

@Tammy
Could we please get a thread title change? This one is extremely inaccurate & surely it doesn't reflect the majority of the CC forum who not only like the site but also APPRECIATE the CC freerolls on GG (I don't play them but I'm sure that those who do really appreciate them)

I get why people are frustrated . If a series of weekly freerolls is announced, it’s fair to expect the structure and prizes to stay consistent. Changing the payouts without saying anything does feel shady, and it’s easy to feel misled.

But at the same time, let’s be real, these are freerolls. Nobody’s losing money here. Calling it a “scam” is a bit much when it’s still a free shot at something.

It’s fine to be disappointed, but maybe just take it for what it is: a freeroll, not a promise of guaranteed value every week.

If I was GG, I'd send a rep. in here to read a thread like this one & then I'd disqualify each whiner from even being able to participate in the generous promo handouts they have there.

I applaud this type of GG freeroll structure, recently I participated in GG Masters tour using this format.

This thread's title should be amended.

The probabilities are explained here, on GG help page:

As you may see, the bigger the multiplayer, the smaller the chances. , ei. 40.000 multiplayer comes 50 times in 100M games.
View attachment 396006

The problem is graphic visualisation of the wheel. If they give realistic chances the big multiplayers would be so small, they shouldn't be visible at all. I personally do not think it is quite fair like it is now, it gives the impression of the equal chances for all the multiplayers. After some playing everyone of course knows, that it is not the case, but it also gives everyone the possibility to complain about how "rigged" the wheel is. Perhaps it would be enough if these higher multiplayers fields were just significantly smaller? Almost half of the wheel should be x2 multiplayer, followed by a quarter of x3, than 3 parts of x4, x5 and x10, and in the end just thin lines for the highest. Not sure if it would solve the problem, but it would be at least a bit more realistic. You may call it a scam if you like ;)
The issue isn’t frequency—it’s how the wheel spins! Tell me, why is a frequency attached if the wheel is supposed to spin randomly, as it should? They should provide actual statistics, not probabilities! Probabilities make sense in RNG-based games like poker.

This clearly shows the wheel spins according to a programmed algorithm. It’s an illusion—just like online roulette and slot machines! Trust what I’m telling you.(y);)

Esto dificulta la calificación, lo cual no es agradable, pero en cierto modo es comprensible.

Pero luego cambian el fondo de premios y limitan los premios de la forma en que lo han hecho, a mí me parece una estafa.

¡Para esta serie de torneos gratuitos semanales tenía que clasificarme sí o sí cada semana! Y ahora me importa muchísimo menos.

Cambiar los premios pagados de 4500 a 3000, y especialmente cambiar los buenos premios en efectivo por boletos en su mayoría de mala calidad para WSOP Express.
Para conseguir algo realmente bueno ahora, tienes que terminar entre los 300 primeros, es decir, entre el 1% superior del grupo.
Y aún quedan premios en metálico que preferiría evitar y obtener en efectivo.
Si bien cobrar 15 dólares en efectivo por un puesto de 4500 ya fue bastante bueno en el primer freeroll semanal.

Si se anuncia una serie de torneos freeroll semanales, lo lógico sería esperar que todos fueran iguales que el de la primera semana, ¿verdad? O bien, podrían haber dado alguna información de que el primero va a ser mucho mejor que los siguientes.

Me detengo aquí, ya que lo que seguiría serían solo insultos hacia GG Poker.

These tournaments are something they offer for free. If you're not interested in the free option, play with your own money and win much more.

Probability is for future events
Statistics is for past events
They can't provide statistics for something that hasn't happened yet.

The wheel might show $1, $2, $5, $10, $100, $1000, but really it's like this:

$1, $1, $1, $1,$1, $1, $1, $1,$1, $1, $1, $1,$2, $2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$5, $5,$5,$5,$10, $10, $10, $100, $100,$1000

The probability is determined by those who programmed it, which means the wheel is rigged by software and not truly random like the RNG used in poker! It’s all an illusion! There should be statistics available showing how winnings have evolved over time!

The wheel spins, but it doesn’t dance freely. It’s guided by code—a well-orchestrated illusion. And the player, caught between hope and algorithm, gambles not just with luck, but with trust in the system.
